WWE has slightly altered plans for Money in the Bank 2026, which will still take place in the city of New Orleans next year.
As announced via press release on October 22, the popular Premium Live Event will now take place on Sunday, September 26, one week later than the originally announced date:
WWE, in conjunction with the Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation and Legends Global, has announced that Money in the Bank will now take place Sunday, Sept. 6, 2026 — one week later than originally announced — at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans.
Money in the Bank features WWE’s biggest Superstars as they battle to earn a briefcase containing a contract for a championship match at a time and place of their choosing anytime within the next year.
Additional ticket details and event information will be announced in the coming months. To register to be the first to hear about pre-sale opportunities for Money in the Bank, visit wwe.com/mitb-2026.
Back in May, Triple H appeared via video and announced that Money in the Bank would be taking place in the city on Saturday, August 29. At the time of writing, there has been no reason as to why plans have changed or why the show will now be on a Sunday night as opposed to a Saturday, which has been the more traditional date for big WWE shows over the past few years.
While no matches have been announced for next year’s event, the Men’s and Women’s ladder matches will be the main talking point of the show. In 2025, winners Seth Rollins and Naomi were both successful in their respective cash-ins, and also relinquished their titles without loss. Rollins vacated his World Heavyweight Championship due to injury, while Naomi relinquished the Women’s World Championship due to pregnancy.
New Orleans Sees Another Change, This Time With WWE Money In The Bank 2026
This has been the second time in 2025 that New Orleans has seen changes made to previously announced WWE plans. The other change concerned WrestleMania 42, which was previously seemingly confirmed by The Rock back in February. However, later in the year, the company pivoted and made the decision to return to Las Vegas.
